I’m sick. WAH. Sick people need soup. It’s just a must. So, for the first time in pretty much ever, I made some soup. Some damn good soup. I don’t want to toot my own horn or anything, but I make mean soup. My mom wanted to follow a recipe, but I finally persuaded her to let me take charge. She was glad she did.

In a large Dutch oven, bring 6 cups of vegetable broth to a boil. Add chicken and simmer, covered, for 15 min. Remove chicken from broth and set aside to cool. Shred the chicken. Strain the broth through a colander lined with two layers of cheesecloth-(I used coffee filters!) Then, in the Dutch oven, heat 1 tbs olive oil. Throw in all your veggies! Once tender, stir in the strained broth, chopped tomatoes, oregano, and rosemary. Bring to boil. Add 3 tbs line juice and some thin lime slices. Simmer, covered for 20 minutes. Then, add the shredded chicken and heat. We toasted some tortilla chips to put in our soup! YUM.
